Monthly Challenges.

9 fun new challenges every month

How does it work?

Every month we come up with 9 fun gaming challenges to test your skills. Fight your way through them for a chance at relative fame and fortune.

And by fame, we mean you’ll get your name on our store walls, not to mention bragging rights. And by fortune, you’ll get some sweet prizes. It’s also the easiest way to earn yourself a free cappuccino (or whatever your drink is).

The Fine Print (Ugh Boring)

The person who has completed the most challenges is the winner. If there is a tie, the person who completed the challenges earlier is the winner.

Even if you don’t come 1st, you can play for the raffle draw and to get a free drink.

To complete a challenge you must get one of the staff to verify it and update the board. No funny businesss – cheating will result in a lifetime ban for the challenges!

Winners are announced on the 1st of following month. This is when the prizes can be collected (not before!). Prizes must be collected within the following month or they expire.

The Nat and Troy clause: After someone has achieved 1st place twice, they must wait 6 months for every subsequent win.

August 2018 Challenges

Rapture.

A (Easy+)Moto GP 06 [2 players, Xbox 360]
Ride your bikes along the Riviera. Someone must come first and someone must not come last.

B (Medium++)Final Fantasy 7 [1 player, PS1]
You got a job to do but The Last Train From Midgar leaves in 30mins!

You were the chosen one! When the Monthly Challenges kicked off, the staff would jokingly bet on who they think would win in the end, and Jimmy was often the favorite. However, losing the tiebreaker in December 2016 was a heartbreaker and we thought Jimmy was out of the game. But our boy is back and he’s done it ladies and gentlemen, the champion of June!

May 2017: Roger Simpson!

This month turned into a battle of man vs machine. Roger had this win in the bag, he had 8 out of the 9 challenges done, yet a single game remained. Beat Contra: Hard Corps. People attempted it, people failed, people gave up on this turd of a challenge. Not Roger! It became a batter of principle. Even with his win secured, he came in multiple days in a row putting in work on Contra: Hard Corps until finally becoming its victor. Respect.

April 2017: Stephan Normand!

These challenges are supposed to last all month. I mean they are called MONTHLY challenges. That’s why newcomer Stephan sure surprised us by completing all of the challenges in a single DAY! Never before has something so audacious been attempted. Well done, sir.

March 2017: Troy Blue!

He’s creepy and he’s kooky, mysterious and spooky, he’s altogher ooky, The Troy Blue Calamity! He conquered the nightmare that is The Addams Family on NES and was made to sweat with rival challenger Alton. But in the end, the Resident Evil 5 challenge was left unbeaten. You earned your JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure pose on our wall of fame, buddy.

February 2017: Nathaniel Lévesque!

I like to think I’m a clever guy, but this Big Brain Academy game thinks otherwise. Screw that game. I got every question right except for the GIRAFFE question and I got a B-? You get a B-, stupid game. Anyways, I don’t know how Nat beat that challenge and got an A, but he did and that alone should make him the winner for the month, but he beat all the challenges. Even the singing one. I really hate Big Brain Academy.

January 2017: Troy Blue!

Who needs skill when you have perseverance? Not this dude. The medium Tetris challenge almost broke his will, but after 10 hours he finally showed it who was boss. Later on, Troy showed some unprecedented dedication when he came in at 7.30 (in the MORNING) to knock out the last remaining challenge as Ulala, space reporter. Respect.

December 2016: Nathaniel Lévesque!

Nat and Jimmy tried to pull off some BFF hunger games bullshit where they do all the challenges together and share the grand prize. But we weren’t having that and pitted them against each other in a Nidhogg duel to decide the winner. It was Kat! I mean Nat!

November 2016: Pascal Berube!

Against all odds Pascal managed to beat all the challenges in the first month of challenges. Some people might say his cousin carried him through some hard challenges, but who’s to say!
